Duomo di Firenze: The Heartbeat of the Renaissance, Where Faith meets Eternal Beauty

Many visitors come to Florence and leave only with photos of the Cathedral’s magnificent facade. However, without Santa Maria del Fiore, there would be no Renaissance. This is not just a church; it is a city’s manifesto of faith, power, and artistic ambition, built over three centuries.

Join our official guide for a 2-hour deep dive into the four core spaces of the Duomo complex. From the secrets of Brunelleschi’s Dome to the “Gates of Paradise” this tour is designed to help you understand how Florence became the center of the art world.

The Duomo di Firenze is the soul of Florence. We recommend booking this tour as a precursor to the Uffizi Gallery to fully connect the history and art of the city

Tour Highlights:
  • Marvel at the marble facade and learn why the Dome is considered the greatest architectural miracle of the Renaissance
  • Discover the “Gates of Paradise” and why Michelangelo called them an entrance worthy of heaven
  • See the original masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s late sculptures
  • Santa Reparata Crypt: Step beneath the modern floors to explore the ancient Roman and medieval ruins of the city’s origins
